When you say the Zorin password, do you mean the password for the user you are logged in as?
What it's asking for should be the root password. I'm not familiar with Zorin, but with other distros you set that up on installation, before you create a user. Root is the Linux equivalent of Administrator in Windows. The dialog you're seeing is similar to the UAC prompt in Win7, where you need to provide a user and password that can launch as admin if you're not in the group.
